How the Wallflower was Won by Eva LeighMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Finn Ransome is an expert on Lady Luck, which is why he refuses to take a chance on love. He believes his shortcomings will disappoint anyone he cares about. However, the clock is ticking on his father's matrimonial demands. The only woman to catch his eye is a bluestocking who would never consider a rogue like him. After a disastrous first Season, Tabitha Seaton decided to focus on books instead of ballrooms. She hopes to join the Sterling Society, a collective of the most influential minds in London. Except, they will never admit an unmarried lady. Now Tabitha needs a husband, and a notorious, handsome gambler may be her best bet. They decide to marry out of convenience instead of love. Once married, however, their potent attraction boils over into a deep passion that neither expected. When a painful mistake drives the new lovers apart, Finn will risk it all to prove a scoundrel and a wallflower are a winning pair.
This historical romance had two characters that showed great chemistry even though they were from different worlds. They both showed their inner strength by letting love in their hearts and conquering their personal challenges. I felt that the story was a little drawn out and some parts needed editing. It just seemed too long. But I enjoyed it overall. Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for this advanced reader’s copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
